Feyenoord's dramatic 2-2 draw against PSV Eindhoven (Sport 1)
Eran Zehavi and PSV Eindhoven moved away from winning the championship yesterday (Sunday), after finishing in a dramatic 2: 2 with Feyenoord in a stormy game that was also an Israeli derby between Zehavi and Ofir Marciano.
A late pair of Cyril Desers, including a very dubious penalty in extra time, set up a point for Feyenoord and left the PSV gap from the first Ajax on 4 points with two rounds left to end the season.
For Zehavi, the game ended with mixed feelings.
On the one hand the veteran Israeli striker showed good ability and also cooked up the second goal of Cody Gakpo, and on the other hand he was replaced and saw from the bench the double advantage of his team was erased.
Despite this, in the Netherlands they mostly flattered Zehavi, and former midfielder Rafael van der Wart even crowned his cooking as the "delivery of the season".

"Zehavi's cooking is amazing. This goal looks like a snooker move," said van der Wart, now a commentator on Dutch television.
"The delivery did everything during that move. Gakpo should have just continued it in, but all the credit goes to Zahavi."
Zahavi received high marks in the Dutch media.
The "Voetbalprimueur" website gave him a score of 7 and wrote: "His wonderful delivery set up PSV's 0: 2, and recorded a great game beyond that. Unfortunately, one had to watch from the bench as his teammates lose the advantage."
The website "Voetbalinternational" was also awarded a score of 6.5.
Ophir Marciano, on the other hand, received a score of 6. "His defensive players abandoned him against the PSV strikers, even though he could have made it harder for Gakpo in the first goal. Overall, he had a good game," they reasoned.
